    Re-entering as a tourist then staying?

    Hi no plans to apply for an eTA at all, definitely don't want to trigger something like that. My plan is to enter on land as mentioned but using my other passport.

    Re-entering as a tourist then staying?

    I've another question, what about if I reentered Canada on another passport as I'm a dual citizen of UK and another European country. I've never used the other passport before, will it help to use that to avoid them seeing I'm a PR?

    Re-entering as a tourist then staying?

    Definitely not planning to bring masses of things with me, just one suitcase. I am visiting friends in USA and then my Canadian friend will meet me there and travel with me into Canada (so just the two of us in the car). I will not show my expired PR card (expired December 2018), I will just...

    Re-entering as a tourist then staying?

    I'm just grateful for your advice. I always respected having PR in Canada, just my circumstances and not getting off to the best start. I really feel I will have a better leg to stand on if there is a second time around. I do, well did, have a great immigration lawyer there as well, so it might...

    Re-entering as a tourist then staying?

    Thank you, I guess my best shot really is via land then. How common is it that a person is reported?

    Re-entering as a tourist then staying?

    Of course, I probably should have used the word thorough instead of aggressive! So if I enter Canada by car, with my British passport, will I be able to enter? Should I have my return flight from the USA booked back to UK as well? Just trying to figure out how to enter and get on with life. I...

    Re-entering as a tourist then staying?

    Thank you, this will be how I reenter Canada I think. I do have lots of friends in America so I really hope this would work, maybe a friend from Canada can come down to the states and travel back in with me in their car. Are the border as aggressive as the airport officials do you know?

    Re-entering as a tourist then staying?

    The Last question! I was tempted to apply for the eTA just to see whether they see I am a PR, then if they approved it wouldn't it mean that they don't see I am a PR?

    Re-entering as a tourist then staying?

    Thank you again! So if I apply for the eTA and get to the border officer, is it likely they can see I am a PR? I am always unsure how much information they have at the border.

    Re-entering as a tourist then staying?

    Thank you for your reply. I am not planning to say I am a PR so as to avoid any questioning about that. Is this possible? PS: I do not plan to travel any time in the next year!

    Re-entering as a tourist then staying?

    I just want to state from the beginning I am not a crook or somebody looking to use Canada for financial benefits, quite the opposite. I came to Canada from the UK in 2007 after falling in love and marrying a Canadian. We were very young (20). He turned out to be a gambling addict and left us...

    Eligible to apply for citizenship?

    The eligibility calculator says I am eligible, and a person can be out longer than six months in a year. It just depends on how many days overall in last 6 years.

    Eligible to apply for citizenship?

    Thanks for the input, how do people feel about this? Do they feel it is an all work type system in North America in general? Quite a shame really, considering it was an American (Ford) who invented the two day weekend :D

    Eligible to apply for citizenship?

    Can I ask you honestly, is the job market as full of opportunities as the outside community is led to believe? I mean, is it as good as say, in Europe, where one can begin and know they have 4 weeks+ holiday time per year etc. Basically, is Canada as full of opportunity as it is sold to be...

    Eligible to apply for citizenship?

    I'm thinking about just applying when I arrive back in a few months. I calculated the absences and I would still be within the realm of application period, having around 1500 days accrued. Once actually applying from there I can't really see a problem? Especially with the uni offer? What do you...

    Eligible to apply for citizenship?

    Thank you for response!! Would an offer for a place at university in Canada be good enough to show intent to stay?
